Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in harm to the openness of the Green Belt, in addition to the harm by reason of inappropriateness. The proposed development would therefore not meet any of the relevant exceptions of Paragraph 154 of the NPPF and would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The proposal fails to comply with policy GBR1 of the East Herts District Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
